In which situation can planning for an elderly population become necessary?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the birth rate is low and life expectancy rises

The correct answer is A: planning for an elderly population may become necessary when the birth rate is low and life expectancy rises. A low birth rate means that fewer children are being added to the population. Longer life expectancy means that people, on average, live to older ages. Together, these changes can increase the proportion of older people in the total population. Governments and communities may then need to plan health care, accessible transport, social support, housing and other services for older citizens. Choice B does not describe the condition that increases the elderly share: a high birth rate adds more young people, while a short life expectancy reduces the number reaching older ages. Choice C is incorrect because if there are no elderly people, elderly-focused planning is not required for that population. Choice D is incorrect because migration can affect age composition in some places, but saying it has no effect does not identify the stated demographic condition. Memory cue: fewer births plus longer lives can make the population older.
